A World of Liquorice Sweets
Types of Liquorice Sweets available
There are so many flavours and variations of liquorice available! Some of our customers' favourites include liquorice torpedoes, liquorice allsorts, liquorice comfits, and kopp kops. Here, we briefly explore some of our customers' favourites.
These delicious favourites get 5 stars from our happy customers! One of our top-selling black liquorice sweets, these are also called the 'bobbly ones' or the 'jelly buttons' from the liquorice allsorts collection. Whatever you call them, if you're a fan of candy liquorice, you'll love the crunchy hundreds and thousands on the exterior that give way to a rich and gummy liquorice flavour.
Another five-star favourite from our customers, these are available in regular and sugar-free liquorice sweet options. And they really are a classic British recipe too, combining rich licorice with tangy blackcurrant for that heady mix of velvety sweetness and tangy fruitiness. The classic recipe combines the finest ingredients and traditional sweet-making methods, and this flavour will take you right back to childhood. It also works very well with our liquorice and aniseed sweets.
Of all the licorice sweets in our range, these have the best name. Yet another black liquorice with top reviews, Kopp kops are also called kop kop Sweets or cop cops and they are a genuine 70s classic; boiled aniseed and liquorice with a chewy centre, gentle on the flavours and with the right balance for absolute perfection. Many of our customers say these remind them of cough candy or hard-boiled blackjacks.
How's this for a heavenly combination: blackcurrant, liquorice and toffee bonbons that combines a strong blackcurrant & liquorice exterior with a soft toffee interior. These dusted traditional sweets are always a hit. And when it comes to our sweets, liquorice is always a top-selling category, especially with our perfectly balanced ingredients.
How are these for iconic liquorice sweets? You might be interested to know that they were originally made in error to use up extra liquorice in factories. But of course, the licorice allsorts we make here are created intentionally with the finest flavours, ingredients and colours. From bright jelly buttons to classic black and white mints, they are all infused with that unique flavour. There's something here for everyone to love!
